Fence Panel Count from Perimeter and Panel Width Calculator

Panels = perimeter / panel_width (rounded up).

Estimate the number of fence panels and posts needed for a yard enclosure: panels = ceil(perimeter / panel_width); posts = panels + 1 (or panels for a closed loop). Also reports total linear feet of fencing, total material cost, and number of corner posts versus inline posts.
